I have a output file for my system logs monitor sent to Admin group every day ; Recently we see there are many external system disconnects, So we want to avoid them from the list of alerts.

If I have the avoid notification patterns on a file. How to eliminate them from o/p file.

The o/p file name is “syslog”; the avoid pattern is “RFCDestination”, "RFCDDC" . So I want to delete all RFCDestination lines from syslog file and send a alert. Is this easy?. Please advise.

The avoid pattern list file is created with RFCD....entries.

Can you please avdise using this avoid_pattern_lst delete entries in "syslog" and generate final file.

grep -v RFCD syslog | mail admin_group@steve_johnson.com

By the way, what's "o/p"?

Could you please how to do it for multiple pattern eliminations....like in a file iahve all not required patterns. the o/p is know as output.

thanks, Please advise

man grep
